      abstract = {In this study, we report on the microstructural and optical properties based on Co-doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized via co-precipitation technique. All samples were characterized by using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and uv-visible (UV) spectroscopy. Pure and Co-doped ZnO are polycrystalline and well crystalized in the hexagonal crystal structure. XRD results revealed that the lattice constants were decreased with increasing Co doping. Furthermore, cell volume of ZnO sample was reducing after Co-doping. The average crystallite size was found to be decrease from 13.14 nm to 10.07 nm. UV-Visible spectroscopy was used to evaluate the energy band gap of prepared samples and found to decrease with Co-doping. The reported structural and optical properties indicate the potential application of Co-doped ZnO material for opto-electronics application.},
